Pro Bono Barrister: Kings Inn celebrates June gala; new president Chidekel installed
Closing out an active and productive year, members of the Kings County American Inn of Court, led by outgoing President Justice Ellen Spodek, gathered last Monday within the cozy confines of the Red Gravy Restaurant on Atlantic Avenue.
Among those enjoying the salute to Justice Spodek were her parents — retired Justice Jules Spodek and irrepressible mom Horty, who served as “campaign manager” for both of them as they moved up to the Kings County Supreme Court.
Topping the agenda was the installation of a new slate of officers by Inn Master Appellate Division Judge Cheryl Chambers, headed by President David Chidekel. Among those “moving up” in the chairs were Justice Arthur Schack, who now serves as the Inn’s president-elect, and Acting Supreme Court Justice Miriam Cyrulnik, the Inn’s new counselor.
